    On Friday night, Primeira Liga leaders Porto head to bottom of the table Chaves, as the leaders look to strengthen their position at the top of the table.

    Chaves are currently four points away from safety after a poor campaign in the Portuguese top-flight. The home side has recorded just one win in their last 12 league outings, but are currently on a three-game unbeaten run in the Primeira Liga.

    Last time out, they ended an 11-match winless run in the league by recording a 2-1 win over Tondela. Chaves recent league matches have been relatively low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last seven league games.

    Chaves’ home form has been poor of late in the Portuguese top-flight, as they have won just once in their last seven matches on home soil. They have struggled for home goals of late, scoring just three times in their last four home matches in the league.

    Porto are currently five points clear at the top of the Primeira Liga and could extend their lead at the top of the table with a win in this clash if Benfica fail to win their clash against Guimaraes.

    The visitors are unbeaten in ten league matches, winning nine matches in the process. A 0-0 draw last time out against Sporting Lisbon ended a nine-match winning run in the Primeira Liga.

    Porto are unbeaten in five away games in the Primeira Liga, having recorded four wins. The aforementioned draw at Sporting ended a four-game winning run away from home.

    The visitor’s recent away games in the Portuguese top-flight have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in six of their last seven away games.

    Forebet predicts that Porto will record a victory in a low-scoring game to consolidate their position at the top of the table.
